Adjust your colour settings in control panel/monitors until ur screens have a yellow tint, and reduce brightness/contrast… should reduce eye strain quite a bit. Pink tint works better for some people, depends on your eyes.
I need new glasses, been looking at Lindberg's… Are they worth the coin? Want the air titanium with tortoise shell front: looking at around 600 for just the frame which is 3x what I usually spend.
Also do the high end optics like Zeiss and Nikon actually make a difference to clarity? Or are they just able to make huge prescriptions thinner

Thanks bro, I actually worked with someone who had this desktop app that would subtly change color to tint the screen might see if it works.

If you use Windows 10 then this is built in.
It's also built into one of the more recent Mac OS updates.
Alternatively, you can use: https://justgetflux.com/
Will slowly tint the screen based on the sunlight hours or you can set a time at which it happens.

They're certainly very good quality. Whether or not they're worth the price is down to you really. They're fairly unique in terms of construction so if you like them there isn't really a budget alternative.
Simple answer, yes. In theory the higher the quality of the lens the better the clarity. The thickness of the lens shouldn't really be an issue, you can get cheap ultra-thin unbranded lenses, although perhaps with pretty extreme prescriptions the higher quality / cost branded lenses might be better.

Has anyone got ‘blue reflect’ lens on their optical glasses? Does it help?
My eyes look like the Cookie Monster stareing at a bastard screen all day for work

So looking to get a pair of new frames, have decided to go for the Oliver Peoples Coleridge.
Lens wise, I'm going for a 1.74 as my sight is around -7, and the frame is thin so ideally needs thinner lenses.
Ive been quoted from a local store, £225 for the frames which is RRP, but then £125 for the lenses, which is lower than normal i think.
Is there anywhere else online that can match that price for the lenses as i can get the frames online from various places for £150. If not, will just go ahead with the in store option.

Seems like quite a good price for those lenses to me. You could try this one too:

Went for my first ever eyetest yesterday at Boots (35) and been told I have slight astigmatism in both eyes. When the lady told me she was giving me a prescription I didn't know what she was on about, and the info was non sensical as I thought I could see. Anyway I need glasses. If I fork out for some Cutler and Gross, can I take them into Boots and they do the lenses for me, or is that going to set me back a packet of packet?
My London geography is a bit rusty but you could try Adam Simmonds, The Eye Company, The Eye Place or Roger Pope, or you can post them to Séamus at The Optical Workshop.
